Infraction issued for.... *giggles uncontrollably*
I noticed for several years that my computer speakers would make a distinct pop whenever that bathroom light would be switched on or off and this house was built in 2004. You're not totally off your rocker. How old is your house? Sounds like your electrical wiring is... poop.
House was built relatively recently in 1992 and my computer speakers pop when I shut off any lights on the upstairs floor.
Other electrical nightmares that plague my residence include:
NONE of the breakers are labeled properly. Seriously.
The two-car garage, basement, and my bathroom are all on the same circuit. Plugging in too many Christmas lights in the garage during the holidays pops the GFCI outlet in my bathroom so we have to use LEDs to prevent that.
Turning on the microwave causes the whole house to dim.
I have a large stereo system in my bedroom (DJ amplifier, four subwoofers, 6 speakers). Any time the bass hits the bedroom light dim.
There is a large transformer the size of a smart-car on the ground in my backyard, not fenced off or anything. Just sitting there buzzing along.
The phone jack in my office which my PC uses for internet isn't even a phone jack... In my bedroom there is a phone jack, and inside it the wires are all spliced and there is a run of Cat5 that goes under the carpet in the bedroom, down the hallway, and comes out of the baseboard in the office and into a phone wall plate. This was only discovered when I got AT&T U-Verse internet last year and they attached that beeper thing to trace the wiring. It was quite an entertaining experience for both me and the ATT guy.
One time our neighbors installed a fence without a permit and they cut into our electrical wiring and we had no electricity for a week.
My neighborhood is fed from two substations. During a power outage, sometimes one house has power, and the one next to is is blacked out. It's crazy!
We get power surges. Daily. Never fails. How my PC still works (as good as it works anyways) is a mystery to my whole family. So far we are on our 13th (yes I have kept a running count) replacement DirecTV receiver because the surges keep frying them.
None of the outlets work right. Plug something in, and itll just fall out. We have to bend the prongs outward on everything so it won't fall out.
and...
This is in the middle of a metropolitan capital city with a population of over one million people.
